Applies to MindManager used with the MindManager Explorer for SharePoint add-on
MindManager Explorer for SharePoint is a new way to organize and use SharePoint data.
By itself, SharePoint does a great job of storing data, tasks, documents, and other information in a highly structured manner that aligns with your organization's structure, projects, and functions. But, operating only within the structure imposed by SharePoint is not always the most efficient way to gather and process the information you need in order to see the "big picture".
MindManager Explorer for SharePoint is an add-on for MindManager that helps you get the most out of your SharePoint data. It allows you to aggregate items from multiple SharePoint sites in a single, personalized view, by using SharePoint map parts to display collections of SharePoint items in a mind map.
When you add a SharePoint map part to your map, you choose the site (or sites) you want to use, the types of items you want to see, and specify the filter criteria for matching items. Then, the SharePoint map part searches the SharePoint site(s) for matching items, and displays the results as a set of subtopics, maintaining a live link to the source for each item. The SharePoint Dashboard features a set of pre-defined map parts that show your Calendar items, issues and tasks from one or more sites in a single click.
This allows you to innovate across projects and see relationships and other information not available along the strict boundaries imposed by SharePoint. Using the links on the displayed results subtopics, you can edit the associated SharePoint items without leaving MindManager, using the built-in browser. Your results are updated automatically each time you open the map or change the filter criteria, and by an automatic timed refresh while you work. You can also see updated results at any time by manually refreshing topics. |
